What you will do

Our Airwall Zero Trust technology secures mission critical assets around the world. It provides encrypted remote access, protects communication from the edge to the cloud, and makes legacy infrastructure invisible to discovery and attack. For operators running equipment that cannot be patched or taken offline, that combination is the difference between a contained incident and a shutdown.

The Staff Software Engineer, Embedded Networking, is a hands-on engineering role at the core of the product. You will extend Airwall onto new classes of devices, modernize a technology stack that has to keep pace with a fast-moving market, and strengthen our competitive position in operational technology security. The work runs from constrained embedded targets up through the secure data path, and it stays close to the code.

Few engineers arrive fluent in identity-based overlay networking, so we hire for systems depth and expect you to pick up the protocol work quickly. You don't have to be a recognized authority on zero trust networking or IPsec on day one, and by the time you're finished here, you will be.
